Clare SHC final

Crusheen 0-10 Sixmilebridge 0-4

Cian Dillon took the man-of-the-match award.

Kilkenny SHC final

Ballyhale Shamrocks 0-11 James Stephens 1-8

Henry Shefflin was again the hero for Ballyhale yesterday. The intercounty star hit a late, late point to deny James Stephens and earn his side a replay.

The decider was, again, played in inclement conditions at Nowlan Park.

Mayo SFC final

Ballintubber 1-10 Castlebar 1-9

It’s two on the trot for Ballintubber too having earned their first senior tile last season.

They were made to work for it though, inspired by newly-crowned Young Footballer of the Year Cillian O’Connor, they just edged out Castlebar Mitchels by a single point.
